Muriel's Wedding
Socially awkward Muriel Heslop wants nothing more than to get married. Unfortunately, due to her oppressive politician father, Muriel has never even been on a date.

It was my first time seeing it on the big screen since 1994, tho I've seen it on DVD, but it was so weird seeing myself on the big screen!! (I was an extra on the film). So strange to see a much younger version of myself!!

It leads her to many adventures and ultimately to an arrange pairing. Nothing is what it seems in this movie but its well made and acted #hatm

Britney Spears revealed that she turned down a role in the Chicago movie musical in her new memoir. Spears regrets turning down the role of an unspecified murderous villain in the film after she became too engrossed in her character from Crossroads. Writes Spears: > > > When it came to Chicago, I should've done it. I had power back then; I wish I'd used it more thoughtfully. Chicago would have been fun.…

As part of a longer interview Kate Miller-Heidke talks musical theatre, Muriel's Wedding and Bananaland: “I think I was a very eccentric child, a bit socially backward, a sort of mixture of painfully awkward and introverted and also a terrible show-off who loved to sing. I didn’t know where I fit in for a long time, and then I discovered amateur musical theatre. I found my people. When…
unlabelledView post →**The Australian musical theatre writing and development scene is small compared to its counterparts in the US or UK.** While Australia punches well above its weight when it comes to performing, there have been comparatively few locally written and developed shows that have become successful. Partly this is because there are fewer people living in Australia - about 26 million compared to 67 million (UK) and 333 million (US). When you have smaller talent pool to tap into, it's not surprising…

The film used the real Videodrama, where Muriel works, which really was directly opposite Roylyn Drycleaners, where her friend Rhonda works. (Watching the film's POV camera go into the doorway of your local video shop was surreal.)

unlabelledView post →I never cease to be astounded that Muriel's Wedding is classed as a Comedy/Romance. If you watch it attentively it is such a grim dark depressing tragic movie. TBF that's what makes Abba such a perfect soundtrack (have you actually listened to Abba's lyrics).

Great movie. "I'd rather swallow razor blades than have a drink with you" is a Rachel Griffiths all-timer

unlabelledView post →A personal bugbear of mine is that all the really good modern Australian movies are really bleak horror/crime films, which is fine, but it's like we can't make comedies anymore, and the invariable response is Muriel's Wedding - an excellent film to be sure, but one which is now 30+ years old!
